Pink, I've read all of your threads and postings in several forums here. all of your questions seem to center on when and how you can drink and recover at the same time?
you seem to want to justify drinking & the cough medicine and ask for certain verifications that just aren't there, but yet you say you want to stop.
I'm guessing you have a terrible inner struggle, but you might ask yourself where exactly is your focus? what do you want most? talk to your OB-gyno truthfully so he/she can put you in touch with someone who can help you figure it out.
it is good that you recognize your problem now rather than wait 25 years as i did.
